How Can We See That Far Lyrics

We said our promises by candlelightYou hold my hands, I was dressed in whiteWe were youngHow can we see that far?How can we see that far?

I knew I wanted you like no one elseI told my momma that I'd found myselfIn your eyesHow can we see that far?How can we see that far?

But like your daddy saidThe same sun that melts the wax can harden clayAnd the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hayAnd the mighty wind that knocks us downIf we lean into itWill drive our fears away.

And when I woke in the dead of nightTo hold my hands, push away the frightLife had come--a sonHow can we see that far?

Yeah, we were nervous and a little scaredUntil the music of our baby's cryFilled the airHow can we see that far?

But like your daddy saidThe same sun that melts the wax can harden clayAnd the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hayAnd the mighty wind that knocks us downIf we lean into itWill drive our fears away.

We might dieWe might liveWe could hurt each other badlyDo things, things so hard to forgiveOoooh, and if time is not our friendYour mind might forget me before the endAnd oh, I cannotI cannot look that far.

But like your daddy saidHow can we see that far?The same sun that melts the wax can harden clayAnd the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hayAnd the mighty wind that knocks us downIf we lean into itHow can we see that far?Got to lean into itWill drive our fears awayIt's the same sun, yeahAnd the same rainIt's the same sunAnd the same rain.
